http://thallos.net ...musings of a wannabe Tue, 06 Jan 2009 17:09:04 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I got picked up this morning at 9am for my first in-car driving class. HOLY GOD. I was terrified and anxious as hell. I stayed terrified, but the anxiety passed. The instructor was very nice and patient with me. Thank heavens. I did okay, though I'm totally new ... http://thallos.net/journal/alive I started my Driver's Education class today. From 8am to 2:30pm, I was downtown at the workforce essentials building. Surrounded by high school students(whom I think I scared), being the only real adult there, I listened to our teacher spend all day detailing one standard fact about the ... http://thallos.net/journal/long-day Something that occurred to me tonight, while audiosurfing. Weird, I know. In any case... this new project should be fun. Concept sketch below: http://thallos.net/journal/new-project I'm reading through the bulletin for APSU and I think I'm shorting a wire somewhere in the grey matter upstairs. Holy undead Jesus - I'm old and stupid. I'm slowly starting to understand all the college mumbo jumbo whositwhatsit, and I'm looking forward to talking to someone THERE to ask ... http://thallos.net/journal/ow-my-brain Something floats above me, casting down a shadow, a murkiness across my vision.

I'll bury myself underneath the weight of ... http://thallos.net/journal/underneath Crap, there goes 2008. It wasn't a bad year. It had its moments; some good, some bad, some inspirational. As I reflect on this, Elsy is purring in my ear as she pwns my shoulder once again. I think she missed me while I was gone ... http://thallos.net/journal/goals-doh The last week or so has been a major pain. What started out as a simple project to SLI my computer turned into a week+ of having to hang around on my laptop. I actually kind of enjoyed it! Cuddling on the couch under a blanket, watching ... http://thallos.net/journal/what-yes I'm not sure what's going on with me lately. I really cannot put my finger on the why. Like a switch, something has flickered on inside. I'm actually doing more art... and it's baffling me! I've been doing something semi-artistic for the last 4 years, just ... http://thallos.net/journal/takeover I'm such a freakin' whiner. Really. I didn't used to think so. Perhaps it's old age(yeah). I'm not quite sure what I can get out of whining about this now. I rarely go on about negative crap like this, so I have to get in ... http://thallos.net/journal/backpedaling-grief Just a small update! I've been hard at work lately with an art project I started in July.  It's a comic-book inspired image that will be printed and hung on my wall.  Squee!  Still in progress, but you can find the progression here in Projects.  Keep an eye out! http://thallos.net/journal/new-art
